McInnis Skatepark

This afternoon, after a two-year hiatus I paid a visit to the McInnis Skatepark in San Rafael, a stone's throw from the wonderful Ponds. It was quite crowded. What struck me immediately was that this time there were almost as many scooters as there were skateboards. Talking to a couple of parents, I learned that the scooters are often referred to a "Razors", the name of the major manufacturer (Cerritos, CA).

 

I was amazed at the agility and fearlessness of the kids, some as little as four or five.

 

The boy in my picture is older, and he was one of the few not wearing a helmet. I picked this picture for the sake of the shadow.
